More suggestions for compact view: If this will be one column (i.e. favorites only), then do not dim the whole screen, just the column's background. This way, it will be the preferred view, I feel, since it gives me multitasking without obscuring, partly or totally, the whole screen.

Taskarou re-implements the app drawer for their "all-apps," but it is quite slow. Since these are overlays to the main launcher, that app drawer which is quicker is always available anyway. An alternative to stuffing the favorites would be an app-checkbox-list such as can be shown in link2sd, paranoid settings, etc. Check 'em and they are now favorites.

Need some indication as to inactive app, cached app, and active app. The latter two remain in memory, can be previewed and selected using long press on home key (preview is nice! -- difference becomes quite "blurred;" cached means memory up for grabs but app still there for now). Taskarou marks active apps with a blue dot under their icons. I previously thought this feature more important than it really is.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
I absolutely love your app. Thank you for all your hard work.

Is it possible to add a facility to launch the app by swiping from hotspots in the way Swype Pad does?

I prefer the way that app launches (not via home button) but hands down prefer the way your app looks.

Or can it launch via the recent apps button instead of the home button.

Regardless, really great work and thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Agreed, its a good idea.

Yes, this won't happen, HomeFlip is not meant as a task manager, and very few peoples (including me) cares (or should) of the memory status of a given tasks.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Thanks!

This is under development for the next version (1.25), I'm using it now for the last few days and I have to say it is quite handy indeed..

Unfortunately, AFAIK, these is not such thing as the 'recent apps' button, this is device/rom specific with no official way to 'hijack' it.

Thanks again for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:

HomeFlip 1.25 live.

A lot a changes in this release, both internals and externals.

- Swipe gesture to activate support.

- Haptic feedback.

- Improved compact mode.

- Performance improvement.

- Tidy settings.

- Fix favorites wipe-out on update problem, latter versions should preserve user favorites.

Note that due internal changes, it is highly recommended to uninstall before update.

Enjoy.

LOL yeah I figured I wasn't being too helpful with that. Well it's calmed down now :)

After I updated to the newest version, I was pressing the home button and then pressing again to go to home screen. It would FC after 30 seconds, without me doing anything else. I think it just had to smooth itself out. Keep up the great work dev.

Are there any other themes besides default, holo, bullets, and cyan holo? I'd love to try them all out.

*** Edit, spoke too soon. Just had a crash. I went to my play store to update an app (very little amounts of action) and it force closed :(

Was I supposed to uninstall and than reinstall it? Or will a simple restart fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Loving the swipe launch mate, buttery smooth and looks great. Really great work and thanks so much.

Latest and Greatest

Doing most everything I want now so will go with this for a while instead of the Taskarou.

After first swiping on the compact view, first instinct was to similarly swipe it off. Hint :)

Tapping the app draw simply closes the (compact) view. The way I might want to add favorites to this would be the same way they go in the launcher or the dock: drag 'em from the app draw. Another hint :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
For those of us who do not want the clutter of the menu bar, more swipe idea: Actions to toggle the compact and full (editable) views.

I do not mind the overlay closing when anything on the dock is tapped but is there a way to allow that tap to act afterwards, such as open what was tapped?

Are you receive free offers of bad English?

so.. here we go:

Fisrt: Problems:

When i set one of the fastest starts whit slip ... and set it up at the bottom - I have a problem with the keyboard. shortcut sits above the keyboard ... Anyway - it moved top :)

Second:

How about a button that expand apps....to avoid (if you want) and applications to expand through the accelerometer tilt to the left (or right).

sorry for English really - god bless google translate :D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
No, Android do not allow this for security reasons, think about it, do you really want to allow any apps written by half-baked coders (or terrorists!) to simulate user actions on your phone ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Thanks!

So there's no problem right ? :)

Do you mean that you'd like to activate HomeFlip by tilt ? you understand that this would mean monitoring the accelerometer 24/7, this could be a battery drain.

I would not go that far in my assessment...:eek:

[Android Apps and Games] ew:
The latest upgrade adds a persistent notification which appears to keep the swipe service alive. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the appearance of the notification optional - just an idea (but if that is required to keep the notification alive, I understand).

I also noticed that after the device is restarted, the service does not start by itself. I need to go into the program and then the service starts up and remains persistent.

Thanks again for this great app (and being so responsive to feedback and suggestions)
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Is not required per say, but its Google guidelines, the idea is to make sure that the user knows that something is running in the background. There's various tricks to hide it, I'll look into it.

Yes, you're right, that's an oversight from my part, its gonna be fixed soon.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] gboros:
First of all congratulations, the app is great and the support you're giving is even better. I've one sugestion and one question.

The hotspot for swiping in right upper is the best IMO, but I think the list of app shown should start from top-botton (currently is botton-top) for quick select the last app open. What do you think?

I used Swipe Pad woth Dynamic Panels for a long time but your app is replacing it. One good reason is the speed to open the last app, in Swype Pad it used the defalut system animation an was a little slow. but yours the app open without animation an faster. Just by curiosity, did you design it to be faster or was only a plus?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Thanks!

I like it bottom up, likely because my device is a Note 2, so reaching the top of the screen one-handed is... challenging!, but I could give the choice, its a good idea.

Speed was the only goal, I just started to add (optional) animations and other eye-candy recently for peoples that are into these things (+1 eye-candy = +1000 download :)), but mine is configured to be as quick and 'raw' as possible.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
OK so far so good but there needs to be a set on boot for the swipe gesture service and there needs add to favorites in compact mode also the when swiping to add to favorites the animated color looks ugly. I understand this is early stages and the work done so far is excellent keep up the good work and thanks. Also just noticed the home button does not start home flip on orange san diego running stock ICS please fix.

[Android Apps and Games] murlidhar85:
please try to reduce the memory.

it takes almost 30mb of memory!
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Peoples, every Android apps "takes" between 20 to 40 mb of ram, regardless of actual use , the system caches as much as it can (bitmap etc...). This is NOT locked memory, its available for the system at any time. Rules of thumb, does your device works? Then its fine.. Apple got it right by not exposing these data to the lay user, I wonder how many forum-post trees they saved! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
That black "no tasks" screen that comes up on first boot and stays for a while is sort of a pane. It will not swipe or home-key away. Eventually it disappears and the launcher populates.
[Android Apps and Games] murlidhar85:
it works wonderfully well. very useful app infact. all thanks to you :) but I was only asking if the memory print could be decreased. there are apps I know that take only 5-6 mb. hmmm full screen app? :) it takes very less memory. there are apps that take really less memory.
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
This should now be fixed (version 1.26a).

Let me know if it works for you (tested on various devices but who knows, its Android after all :)).
[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
Sure, by disabling all drawing caches, it can be made to "takes" about 9 mb, but what the point ?

Think about it, this memory is cached by the system in order to improve your experience but as soon as the system needs ram, these memory blocks are made available, no question asked.

Tell me, what is free/unused memory good for ?... nothing, absolutely nothing, doesn't serve any purpose, doesn't improve your Android experience what so ever, A good mobile os should (and does) 'use' as much memory as possible for cache.

I know it is counter intuitive at first, but if your goal is to increase the amount of free memory available at any point in time on your device, your are missing out on what the very clever Android's memory management as to offer.

And don't get me started on the 10-20 emails a day I receive every single day asking me to implement the "kill task" feature! :)

For peoples really interested in the subject, it's gonna take your more efforts than just looking at some 'poweruser' stats, compile Android from source, log block allocations and release, write stress tests, etc... this would be the price of real understanding, but short of that, ignorance is bliss!:)

[Android Apps and Games] papachan:

[Android Apps and Games] id0x12345:
If you have set HomeFlip in left handed mode, this is a known bug, a fix should be live in few hours.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] papachan:
Oh yes. thats absolutely correct. I was in left handed mode. I have uninstalled and install again but the last version and its work again ! cool . Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
There are a lot of these around now, some boasting only favorites, some only recent apps. Claim to be Ubuntu UI (Ubuntu's get all apps from the left, recent ones from the right, I believe) Homeflip one is still the leanest and works great.

A next step: I have the contact-notifications running and this is a nice functionality. But why on the notifications drawer? How about a second swipe region to get selected contacts for quick call/sms/open?

BTW, some of the side-swipers are more obtrusive than others. I had such on overlay up to get directly to previous app. Interfered too much with normal screen gestures. Some are too difficult to actuate at all. Homeflip is in the "middle" -- sometimes get it instead of the next homescreen, but the functionality mostly quite effective.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Still the best imo.

Importing fonts.

Just copy your fonts wherever you want, then click on then with a file browser and choose HomeFlip as target when asked. HomwFlip will then import them and make them accessible via settings / theme. Note that once imported you can delete them from the original location.

HomeFlip reviewed by TechNorms

Thanks to Kyle Nazario for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Play has a bunch of these things but I like homeflip's small size and ease.

Have a look at the latest Ubuntu knock-off Ubuntu launcher on Play. Does favorites and shortcuts, not recent apps. The main difference, though, is that it is not a "launcher overlay," avoiding the vagarities of that paradigm. One simply toggles the service (from app, not settings->accessories) and it is available. Can even coexist the homeflip, i.e. swipe here for recent apps, here for favorites or shortcuts.

I use Overlays to get a few shortcuts on the opposite screen edge (but they will show up over homeflip's menus as well).

Need to control startup order of these autostarts and services, however. Now I have homeflip come up, with menus whether or not I want them, before the fallback launcher comes up. In fact, I have the homeflip and Trebuchet is not launched at this point. This since recent cm10.1 ROMs on LG P500.

I have a HTC HD2 with MIUI 2.4.13 version and not the Google Play recinhece. This app is not compatible? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
This sidebar field is very very crowded now. I am sticking with home-flip because it is tiny and is effective. I might like a faster response to the swipe. Another benefit of this launcher-overlay mode is making it very easy to try launchers.

A couple of new features but implement only if a small size can be kept!

1. Shortcuts. You know these? Used to be insertable on launchers. Now mostly forgotten.

2. Halo. This is now ubiquitous, either as Halo or as an Xposed module. So some convenient way of starting in a window might be in order.

Thanks for the great app!

Any body elses Homeflip acting up after 4.4?
[Android Apps and Games] gnoted:
Just got the 4.4.2 update for my Galaxy Note 3 on voda au and Homeflip is still working, but now it minimizes the current application quickly before bringing up the Homeflip menu. ie I'm in Chrome, press home to bring up Homeflip, and it does the zoom-out animation quickly before bringing up the Homeflip menu with Chrome dimmed in the background.

Looks a bit weird.

Still a great app but it'd be nice if this was fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] computerinfo21:
Feature Requests

I really like a lot of things about HomeFlip. Thanks for the awesome launcher!

Would you consider more feature requests?

A couple of things to make it even more awesome:

- if pressing search when HomeFlip is open would bring up all apps with the filter box focused to really speed up finding apps

- if there were keys to select and switch to an app in the recent list

Both would be really helpful for hardware/bluetooth keyboards where fingers are away from screen.

For the second suggestion, something like up/down arrows moving the focus through apps shown in the list and hitting enter to switch to focused app? Currently up/down arrows scroll the list but you can't select anything.

Or maybe have the number keys 1-9 launch the app in that position in the list.

The latest review on the play store points out a problem with HomeFlip too, with apparently no response or fix.

Hoping you still maintain it. If you do not want to maintain it any longer would you consider open sourcing it so someone else could?

32GB VZW S3 on the way from Amazon to replace my rooted, debloated and deodexed Droid X. When is the best time to root it?

Out of the box before connecting it to VZW?

Or, wait for it take any updates?

I will install OTA Root keeper after first root.

Should I wait for OTA updates or just and get them over with with Kies if that is an option?

I am prepared to root ICS or JB. ICS seems easier so I would prefer rooting right before JB. Can I stop automatic updates w/o root and TiBU?

And, do I need root at all? I know I need it for custom ROMs and to use my beloved TiBU to freeze and backup stuff but maybe I can live without them. I do think Synergy looks pretty cool though.

VZW data plans were confusing. I picked the lowest 2GB one. Can I tether with that? I use very little phone data but want the capability when hotel or campground WiFi sucks which it most always does. Thought of keeping my existing unlimited plan but $730 for the phone and tethering being unsettled with JB was nuts to me.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timsterzzz:
I always root and unlock out of the box. No reason to wait if you plan on doing it. Unlimited data plans are like gold, hopefully you don't regret waiting for the S3 to drop on some cash deals. It's a high volume phone and will be $250-$350 in a few months for a mint one on Ebay. 2gb for tethering might be good for general browsing and such on a laptop for a trip, but if you do anything involving downloading files or streaming, you will burn thru it in 30 mins on 4G.
